The Weekly Reel: Wonder Woman, Logan Lucky, and Much, Much More
- 7 years ago
Hey welcome to the Weekly Reel. The place we tell you about the movies you need to see, but you’ll probably stream for free.
This week we’re talking about Wonder Woman…
Steven Soderbergh’s Logan Lucky…
And the high’s and lows of movie news… which includes a stop over at the Cannes Film Festival.
[WONDER WOMAN]
Imagine if Gal Gadot filled out a dating profile for Wonder Woman, she’d probably be the summer’s most eligible bachelorette.
She’d be like “Hi, I’m Princess Diana of Themyscria, which if you haven’t heard of it, is basically like a magic Paradise… About me: Um, I love to keep active and live that #fitlife, and I love adventure… To be honest, I consider myself more on the tomboy side… And I do put up a shield if I need to… But I can dress to impress too.
Ok, sometimes my friends accuse me of roping guys in, but if I like you, our relationship is legit bulletproof… Oh, and I know how to handle a sword.
Me and my betches have dealt with a lot of bad boys… Been there, done that… Now, I’m looking for Mr. Right to help me conquer the world.
Not that I need a man though… Trust me, I’m an ex that you don’t want to mess with.”

Yep, Steven Soderbergh is back…
And Logan Lucky is… well, lucky, to have him.
The comedy stars Channing Tatum and Adam Driver as two brothers who attempt to pull off a heist during a NASCAR race in North Carolina.
It kind of sounds like Ocean’s 11… albeit a little less refined.
But we’re not complaining. Anytime we get to see a platinum blond Daniel Craig spittin’ a southern drawl – we’re all in.
It’s Soderbergh’s first film since announcing his retirement in 2013, and he lined up an all star cast for his return.
It opens on August 18th here in the states and we can’t wait to take this ride!
[CANNES FILM FESTIVAL]
Cannes Film Festival has wrapped up and just like we expected – there was plenty to talk about.
Nicole Kidman swept into the festival with four projects to present, more than any other actor. But one critic called her film, How to Talk to Girls as one of the worst he’d ever seen.
Jessica Chastain criticized the festival for its portrayal of women. She said what she took away from the experience of being a judge was how surprising female characters were represented. She even went so far as to call it quite disturbing.

In other movie news, Baywatch, your favorite summer beach buddy movie… totally belly flopped at the box office.
It only took home an estimated 22 million when some projected it to do almost double.
Guess it takes more than showing The Rocks muscles and Zac’s dreamy eyes to get butts in seats.
Sorry guys. Maybe next time.
So buy a ticket, kick up your feet and enjoy your overpriced popcorn. We’ll see you next week at the box office.
